OBJECTIVE: To probe into the effects of living habit, diet, drug and hereditary factors related to daily life so as to reduce the incidence of carcinoma of large intestine through changing the life style.DATA SOURCES: Articles on carcinoma of large intestine published between January 1980 and December 2003 were retrieved in NCBI Entrez PubMed with the key words of "carcinoma of large intestine, epidemiology and prevention" and the language restricted to English. Meanwhile, articles on carcinoma of large intestine published between January 1994 and December 2003 were searched for in CNKI database with the Chinese key words of "carcinoma of large intestine, epidemiology and prevention" and the language restricted to Chinese.STUDY SELECTION: The related literature was selected by the primary tions, hormone level and genetic factors on the morbidity of carcinoma of excluding blind method was not required. Exclusion criteria: review articles and papers of meta-analysis and replicated studies.DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 84 related articles were collected, including 17 retrieved with retrospective approach. Fifty-eight articles met the inclusion criteria, and 26 papers were excluded. Among the excluded papers, 6 papers were about the basic biological and chemical research on carcinoma of large intestine, 12 were about different pathological types of carcinoma of large intestine and distribution of hospitalized cases, 4 were meta-analysis, and 4 were of popular science and delayed diagnosis due to physicians or patients themselves. The collected data showed that the morbidity and distribution of large intestine carcinoma were related to region,age, dietary factor, verminosis, heredity, hormone and chronic intestinal diseases and long-term stress.characteristics, trace element intake and living habits on the morbidity of responding preventive measures for reducing the incidence of large intestine carcinoma.CONCLUSION: With the improvement of living standard, the occurrence .and distribution of carcinoma of large intestine increase, presenting a tendency to occur in young people. Developing good life style and dietary habit and doing moderate exercise can prevent the occurrence of carcinoma of large intestine.

Objective To assess the mid-term and long-term efficacy of the permanent inferior vena cava filter in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis of lower limb and discuss the clinical significance of inferior vena cava filter.Methods Retrospectively analyze on the 86 cases with deep vein thrombosis of lower limb (41 males and 45 females,aged 50 to 94 years,mean age was 71.8 years) treated with implantation of permanent inferior vena cava filter in inferior vena cava from Janunary 2010 to October 2015.In these patients,there were 51 cases with embolism in the left leg,25 cases in the right leg,10 cases in both legs and 6 cases were accompanied with pulmonary embolism.The cases without contraindication underwent catheter directed thrombolysis and even percutaneous transluminal angioplasty or stents subsequently if necessary after inferior vena cava filter implantation.All the cases with no contraindication were treated with anticoagulant therapy.Results All the 86 patients were implanted inferior vena cava filter (B.Braun Vena Tech LP 76 and Cordis TrapEase 10)successfully.Sisty-five cases were underwent inferior wena cava filter implantation only,while 21 cases were treated with inferior vena cava filter implantation and catheter directed thrombolysis or even percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stents.During the follow-up period(12 to 81 months,mean time was 51 months),27 patients died dueing to malignant tumor(17 cases) and other diseases (10 cases) rather than complications caused by inferior vena cava filter.Three patients had recurrence of deep vein thrombosis and 2 patients suffered from the thrombosis induced by stenosis of stents.Inferior vena cava filter appered tilted with angle less than 15 degrees in 6 cases.Three cases suffered from new thrombosis below the filter and 2 cases complained of the filter migration.No case was found with fracture of filter,perforation of the inferior vena cava,bleeding or pulmonary embolism(new onset or recurrent).Conclusions Application of permanent inferior vena cava filter may cause complications,though it is an effective approach to prevent pulmonary embolism in patients with deep vein thrombosis of lower limb.However,permanent inferior vena cava filter may be fit for patients with old age,incurable cancer or limited expected life.
